The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Purpose-built for high-wind uplift applications, this hanger delivers enhanced uplift capacity alongside very high down load performance, giving structural engineers and builders the reliability they need in demanding environmental conditions.

Key Features

• Dual-material compatibility for wood and cold-formed steel - supports joists on purlins or beams in either construction type, reducing the need for separate hardware across mixed-material projects
• Purpose-built for high-wind uplift applications - engineered to handle the lateral and vertical forces common in high-wind zones, providing structural confidence where standard hangers fall short
• Very high uplift and down load capacity - handles demanding load requirements at both ends of the force spectrum, making this hanger suitable for heavy structural assemblies
• 3-gauge top flange construction - delivers heavy-duty structural integrity at the critical connection point, supporting the elevated load ratings this hanger is designed for
• 7-gauge stirrup construction - provides robust support around the joist, contributing to the overall strength and stability of the connection under stress
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - offers a durable protective coating that helps guard the hanger against the elements in exposed or semi-exposed installations

Why This Product

• Built for extreme uplift demands - with a heavy top-flange design and enhanced uplift capacity, this hanger addresses the structural requirements of high-wind regions that lighter connectors cannot reliably meet
• Versatile across construction types - approved for use in both wood and cold-formed steel framing systems, this purlin hanger adapts to a wider range of project conditions without requiring product substitutions
• Heavy-gauge construction throughout - the combination of a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup means the hanger is built to perform under very high uplifts and down loads, not just moderate structural loads
• Backed by a trusted structural hardware brand - Simpson has a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, and this hanger reflects that commitment to engineered performance in critical connection applications
